AN APRlE BLIZZARD.
Wintry Blasts Howling Through
the City on Day when Spring
Ought TO Have Been Here,

base Dali on thursday: DllZZard on
Friday. These were the leading topics of
ationconverS on the streets and in the places
of public resort on the days named.
The change was awful. Men who wore
tall hats and perspired in the grand stand
on Thursday afternoon, had on their over
shoes and winter overcoats yesterday.
Those people who are fond of saying that
"Spring may come late in this state. but
when it does come it comes all at once and
comes to stay" were no. to be found. yes.
terlay. Those people, too, who have been
kicking because the street in front of their
house has not been sprinkled, had also been
taken in. Not single communica-
ton jumping on the city council
for not attending to this matter,
and signed by old Taxpayer or ''Vox
Populi' or Citizen had been received at
the GLOBE office for the twelve hours end
ing at midnight. Few people were to be
found on the streets yesterday, and such as
were out were there because they had to
be. 1t was cold and wet and windy-more
like November than the last of April, and
there was nothing to attract outdoor eXer-
else. The men about town, who would have
contributed some of their wealth to the Shcrt
Line trains and the manager of the Mime
apOliS base ball team. were industuously
blowing in this wealth in the down
town billiard rooms and for the pro-
priet0rs of these places the storm was
the best thing that could have happened
Just think of it," said Ed Henderson of
the Pioneer Press. ''Fve got to send a
special to a Detroit newspaper like this:
Game stopped on account of snow.'
They'll think this is the proper place for ice
palaces; and it's almost May, too'
In the morning and until past noon there
was cold, drizzlng rain that made the city
especially cheerless. In the afternoon it
began to grow cold and the wind began to
blow. The temperature kept dropping,
and by the middle of the afternoon there
was full-fedged snow storm in the air. 1t
grew thicker and came faster toward night,
and though all the afternoon it had melted
as it fell. at early evening the ground was
white. The wind was so high that the
storm was binding. and it was hard night
for any who had to be out of doors. Re-
ports from the signal office, however, were
encouraging. They were to the effect that
the storm would be of short duration, and
Observer Lyons said that indications were
that the weather would be clear to-day. A
light fall Of rain and snow were reported
from the signal stations in Montana. Da-
